It does as it's told.

Wow! Two updates in one month on this truck!
Finally got some time and motivation to work on this old *****; tinkered around with the topper by sanding it some more and trying to get the last little bit of paint stripped off the glass, probably going to farm it out to someone my friend knows for a quick and dirty paint job since I don't particularly want to do it myself.
Dusted off some lights and dug into it, got the quad beams installed and threw on a new set of turn lamps I had laying around, as well as got the Z71 fogs bolted in. Haven't hooked them up yet since I'm hoping to order a harness from @5vortec7 soon so I can replace this crappy LMC "HD" harness. Also decided to leave the Z71 guard off for the same reason. I don't think it looks too bad. Ran into some clearance issues with the headlights that resulted in me trimming the brackets a bit and moving the power steering cooler over, the fogs ran into the trans cooler lines and the plastic shield, so I had to unclip the lines, trim the shield and wiggle everything around to make it fit.

I like that autometer matching trans temp gauge.
Truck is looking killer with the lighting updates!

Thanks! I'm still 50/50 on the gauge, I like it but 2 things; 1 - it's a lot dimmer compared to the rest of my LEDs in the cluster and HVAC, 2 - it's not the same blue as everything else.
But I'm debating on sticking a blue piece of tint over the gauge face so everything matches and just learning to live with the difference in brightness.

Why not just stick an LED in the gauge and make it match? Where's the sensor?

The LEDs are built into it, that's how the factory match gauges are, can't swap the colors around.
And the sender? I'm probably just going to stick it in the pressure port for the time being until I can get it serviced and get a pan on it.
